High five, Janet!

Thanks, Mellllllls

Maya, really?

I think we need to remember that our necks perspire. That's why scarves can smell.

My neck is terrible for neck sweat. My stethoscope is a bit cracked because of it, and my collars of my white coats are TERRIBLE. *hide*

I would carefully wash it with luke warm water with a little soap (probably about half they advise on the soap carton), rinse it in water with the same temperature and get most of the moist out of it in a towel and then line dry. So basically the same thing I do to wash my silk or pashmina shawls/scarves.

Okay. This thread has motivated me to gather all my nice cashmere and wool scarves and take them to the dry cleaner before the weather gets cold!

I would try handwashing in cold water anyway. Do not wash ever is a silly care tag. Pretty scarf though.

Well, maybe the world isn't ending if no one else has seen these silly care instructions before (although I am still very disturbed about Joy's apron). This scarf is supposed to be my fall secret weapon, so it better play nice under water!

So for anyone who likes to go into detail, I have noticed that scarves can take on a sebum smell that smells to me like unwashed hair. Is that what you have noticed? Sorry, these things interest me.
